WINNER OVER I
BENNY PELZ
PORTLAND, pre., Dec. 16
Fidel La Barba, Los Angeles, tanner
featherweight champion, left handed
his way to a six-round decision' over
Benny Pclz, Portland, here last night,
before a capacity crowd at the' audi
torium. Pelz, with a weight advant
age of seven : pounds fought back
gamely and showed to advantage in
the early rounds. La Barba then
changed his tactics and soon had the
local boy missing vicious blows and
at the same time played a tatoo- to
Pclz' face with his skillful left. Pclz'
face was quite puffed at trie t Irtish
while La Barba, showed little Indica
tion he had been In a fight. I
Tho return match between Johnny
Hansen, Portland i welter, and Tony
Porttllo, Seattle, was the feature of
the card and fulfilled expectation It
would be a battle royal. Referee Tom
Louttlt called It a draw which did
no harm, although Hansen made a
great finish In the sixth round, -just
as Portlllo did In , their previous
match. The only knockdown oame in
the third when Hansen went down
from a haymaker to the Jaw.. He
crawled on his hands and knees to
hlo corner to hear the advice of his
second before getting up. This
knockdown . undoubtedly Influenced
the referee In his draw decision. Both
boys' were staggered with fierce
punches throughout the bout.

By Alan J. Gould
(Associated Press Sports Editor).
Perhaps Tennessee has -been keep'
ing its great record "on ice" down
around the Great Smoky mountains
for these half dozen years, but the
Volunteers exhibited ft number of
good reasons for their football prow
ess in the charity affair In which
they trimmed New York university's
Violets. . -.:
Gene McEver, who is known
among his playmates as "Inkypoo"
in. the quaint manner of college
boys, came to the Big Town for his
first and last gridiron appearance,
very, well advertised.
So well, in fact, that N. Y. U. con
centrated on watching hlmj and neg
lected altogether to keep an eye on
two agile young men named leath
ers .and Brackett, who promptly ran
wild and stole the show, along with
a roly-poly youth named Herman
Hickman..
, Hickman Is the type of youth who
would have gained a million dollars'
worth of ballyhoo at, . for Instance,
Yale or West Point,. He would like
to. get an appointment to the mili
tary academy, he told me after the
game, in New York, and much more
will be heard about him If he does.
, He is short for his 208 pounds,
but wrestling has helped develop
hlc rare agility. He is fast, durable
and good-natured. He was in al
most every play against N. Y. U
drawing the compliment from New
York's Captain Concannon of being
named the best lineman , the latter
opposed this year, bu,t he was un
marked, in contrast to the bruises
decorating the countenances of his
teammates.
"I was Just having a lucky day,"
laughed Herman when some one
suggested ho had made about 60
per cent of the tackles In the line.
"It was a lot of fun."
"Lucky?" snorted one, of his team
mates, "Why, you were Just having
an average day, Herman."
Vols Welcome Travel
Tennessee would welcome more
lntersectional -activity, .says Major
Bob Ncyland, tho tall, dark haired
soldier-, who has directed the Vols
through the .last six seasons with
(Vi ly two defeats and four ties In 58
games..
"With West Point?" he was asked.
"No, I think. not,'.' the major re
plied, ''but wo. nilght book a contest
wlh Fordham or some other leading
eastern school."
Titlaue Stops Everything
Somo Idea of how effective" Til
lane's defeuso has been most of the

Horace Ronegar of the Green

known methods of advancing the

Returning Stars Give Sophomores Tough Hurdle
To Pass In Breaking Into Big Ten Cage Picture
By John W. Ktnhr
CHICAGO: m It looks like a
tough year, -for sharp -shooting sopho
mores in Big Ten basketball.
In most Western conference camps
there'll be an abundance of return
ing regulars to defy sophomorlc am
bitions. -Two coaches will be able to put
completely veteran quintets on the
floor - from : the start; another has
four 1631 regulars on deck, and five
others each , will have three of their
last year's regulars available.
Unless new talent forces Its way
into the picture, Michigan and Fur-
due, both, consistently high-ranking
teams, could start In right where
they left off last March.
But that's not to say they'll, have
any distinct edge on Northwestern,
which ran off with the 1031 title
with the record of 11 victories and
one loss. The Purple is well forti
fied with replacements for two grad-
uatcd regulars, Bert Riel and Frank
Marshal.
Craig Ruby, whose Illinois team
dropped Its first five games last sea
son and tli en sprinted to win seven
In a row, the finale being the lone
defeat handed Northwestern, has four
highly-regarded regulars on hand.

HORI.O CO! BT ACTION DELAYED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (.) The
protocol for American adherence to
the world court was laid aside today
by the senate foreign relations com

fronting congress are out of the way.
The decision putting tho protocol
back in the pigeonhole was reached
by common consent of the committee
after brief discussion.
Chairman Borah said postponement
was "with the understanding that as
soon as pressing domestic matters are
disposed of, the committee will take
It up."
He is a foe of adherence to tho
court but he Is willing for a show
down at this session.
Court friends willingly agreed to the
postponement.
Prospects of action at this session
on the world court faded as Senator
Watson, of Indiana, the Republican
leader, said he did not think the "ur
